ready to utilize the information to clear
up this little mystery"
:, Inc enid told me nothing and could
tell me nothing"
us she dumb?"
mo, but she speaks language that no
one can understand"
The physician laughed and said, with a
seli.suliicient air:
u am afraid, sir, that your friends and
you are net very well grounded in foreign
tongues, and a better educated man
might perhaps"
- am glad ii you are that man." re-
Piled Cambremer, dryly, "but, in the
meantime, | beg the Judge to take my de-
position, and hope that he will actively
pursue the assassin and his accomplish
Tor he has one, am sure"
AS to listening to your testimony, sir,
am quite ready to do that" replied the
magistrate, "but as to taking judiciary
measures, there must at least be some
sort Of proof"
Proof there is plenty OF proof The
giant who has disappeared, and the
young man with the red camellia who
was making signs from the stage box"
1t was well that Cambremer did not
turn round. He would have seen the
doctor tap his forehead, gesture which
IN every country means that the person
indicated is crazy
II do not undertake, upon my word, to
deny that the event which interrupted
the performance at the Odeon was q
strange one" said the Judge "but we
nave had scientific examination, and it
shows that it was mere accident"
Scientific then it must be this gen
tleman who made it," said the chevalier,
looking with sarcastic expression at the
doctor, who colored at this satirical re-
mark.
The judge nodded. He had, in point
OF fact, some doubt as to the infallibility
OF the doctor, and was not sorry to see
him involved in dispute with Cambre-
mer. But the latter was satisfied at hay
ing manifested his contempt, and re-
sumed, without troubling himself further
about the irascible doctor.
- ask but one thing for the present,
and that is, that you will yourself ex-
anime the child, who alone can tell the
secret Of this horrible adventure"
ooh, as TO that, | am willing, and
whenever you bring her"
"She is here" said the chevalier,
turning toward the door OF the room
which opened into the magistrates pri-
vate office.
"What have you brought her with
you? That was very good idea of
yours, and | will question her immedi
ately."
awe shall be very unlucky," re-
marked the doctor, "if between us we
do not succeed in finding out some
thing"
Cambremer shrugged his shoulders and
rose to open the door.
Come in, madam if you please" said
he, politely.
At this request, Nine Mongs came
forward, leading the little girl by the
hand. Their entrance made what is
called Il prolonged sensation" in par
liamentary debates, as to the two per-
sons seated in the office. The grave and
respectable air of Nine. Mongis and the
marvellous beauty of the girl filled the
magistrate with astonishment for he had
no doubt expected to see some common
place child.
The little girl was attired from head to
foot in mourning, for the chevaler's COM
passionate neighbors had spent an entire
day and night in making the orphans
black suit. The simple dress and dark
color brought out the lustrous eyes and
regular features OF the wearer. Her
childish face had now an expression of
the deepest sadness. 1t was easy to see
that she understood why the elegant at
tire which she had worn to the theatre
had been removed. She showed, how
ever, no fear nor surprise in the presence
OF the two strangers, whose serious faces
were certainly calculated to awe her.
